As an educator my job requires teaching people to learn a subject that is often unfamiliar or daunting to them.

I just love what you said about teaching to learn! It’s so true and I’ve found that as a result of teaching I actually learn heaps of new things everyday.

In many ways it certainly is possible to teach yourself to become an expert if you have high levels of determination and commitment. As the saying goes, education is for life!

Bravo on a great post.

I was pointed to your site and am pleased I did. I was thinking about how to become an expert but getting over the hurdle of not being “the” expert was holding me back. I like the idea of being an expert in a small pond and I agree about teaching to learn. Time to get on with it.

thanks!

Thanks for sharing.

I agree totally with what you’ve said – You may not be the best in your field, but you may be the most accessible person they would get to meet.

Sonia, thank you for an encouraging post that inspired many people.

Becoming a world-class expert at something takes about 10,000 hours of practice. That can seem daunting. But Sonia’s post shows that we can still contribute value as we teach what we’re learning along the way.

And even though we won’t be the foremost authority in the world, we’ll still be a helpful and accessible expert to all those around us who know a little bit less than we do.
